op my wife should be taking care of all this baking stuff but she won't do a damn thing to prepare. not a thing. won't even think about it. i happen to have a lot of grain. red winter wheat,local wheat, oats, rye and barley. i have 3 hand mills. i respect a loaf of bread because it takes 3 or 4 minutes of hard work to make the flour.

if she doesn't get up to speed i could just make flat bread. if i buy yeast how long will it last? i really don't know this stuff. any other ingredient beyond the basics that we should have?
